Mayor Eisenberger's 2016 Hamilton Chamber of Commerce State of the City Address

by Joey Coleman

The Mayor’s State of the City is usually an affair as boring as it is uninsightful. The format changed this year with the Mayor’s speech replaced by a Question and Answer session moderated by recent CHCH journalist Elise Copps. (Copps now works for Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation)
The Mayor discussed the City’s LRT and Traffic Management plans, development of Piers 7 & 8, open for business, and took questions from the audience.
